Hi Gang!
We need your help for Robert. Someone out there has one or both of the devices his Mom needs so much and, it’s not being used. Won’t you please consider sending it to Robert?
Perhaps you could spare a dollar or two towards helping him buy one or both? Come on guys, it’s time to generate some good karma by doing a really good thing. Let’s help our neighbor and contribute a little something to make his and his Mom’s life just a little less hard.
PLEASE HELP US HELP ROBERT!
I am a true believer in our community. And, I have been ever so fortunate to find a great deal of wonderful people in it. One such person is our new Business Manager Robert Slade Russell. Robert is in the same bind many of us are in these rough economic times but, in his case ther is a not so common burden as well. His mom has been diagnosed with cancer of the esophagus and, though not usually survivable, the diagnosis was early enough that the treatment prescribed may see her out of the woods yet. Ufortunately this is very expensive.
His Mom needs is a BP Monitor ($90.00) and a finger pulse oximeter ($75.00) in short they need $165.00 for the both but, they would will be great full just to get the 2 medical monitors she needs if they could be donated.
Robert is a long time MW player who was around before The Post or, even Jeniffer (the MWLOOTLADY) began writing her blog. He is honorable, humble and a great friend. So, when we found out of his need, we took it upon ourselves to come ask our community for help in his name.
If you have any of these items stil in working order that you need any more and are wiling to send him, please let us know and, we will get you in touch with Robert or, you can contact him directly via his profile page : http://www.facebook.com/robert.s.russell
If you would rather make a monetary contribution for this or, to help him with ongoing expenses, you can do so directly through his pay pal account at: fullthrottleradio@yahoo.com
Thank you all in advance for anything you can to for Robert and his mom. I know you are a generous bunch and, I also know that we here (MW/FB) do take care of our own. Be sure that your help would be greatly appreciated and, if you happen to be a business owner and, think our publication could be an asset to your marketing strategy, we will carry your ad for one to three months and, contribute the entire amount to Robert’s cause.

BULLIES: The Spearhead Of Cyber Crime
Well , as you may know by now we are on a “make our playground safe” kick. With the growing number of scams, hacks and just plain old abusive players going through the roof on Facebook, it is time to take a stand.
We continue to find the most appalling cases involving scams, con artists and just plain nasty people preying within our community. If you have been stolen from,hcked/threatened or harassed in any way please don’t keep it to yourself. Share it with us so we can help you do something about it.
But, we can’t do it with out you. I know many of you are concerned and, have responded immediately but, we need more victims to come forward so we can examine your cases and forward them to the appropriate person or agency.
In the meantime, please join: The Daily Post Section I – Hall of Justice-
If you join to report your case, please open a discussion topic and put everything you can the, we’ll contact you as soon as possible after that. If you are a volunteer that wants to enlist in this fight against abusive players just leave your name on the wall and, we’ll contact you shortly to vet you and,with further instructions.
